Is the idea to have both the text name of the chord "Am" with the Am
tab below it? If so, it might be easier to have two fields, one above
the other, and line up the contents using tabStops.
You might be able to avoid a lookup, as such, by having the char you
need for the tab font ('a' in this case) on the same line as "Am" in
the chordList field, tabbed over to the right, so the user doesn't
see it. So the A major and A minor lines in the chord list would be:
A -tab- A
Am -tab- a
having set the tabStops of fld "chordList" to 200, or some number of
pixels that puts the second word out of sight.
Then you can get at the respective chord representations by using
'word 1 of value(the selected line of fld "chordList")' or 'word 2 of
value(the selected line of fld "chordList")'.
I'm still not exactly clear on what you want to insert into the main
stack (chords or tabs, chords and tabs, sometimes one or other), but
I'm sure we'll get there...:)

Mark,
That is correct. I use "A" for the "A" chord, and "a" for the "Am"
chord.
But the code I am using is passing the "Am" rather that the "a", so
it is
displaying two chords. I'm not sure how to code this, other than
creating a
lookup list. That is what I had before, but I couldn't mix the fonts
successfully. If I put chords in, and then switched to Tab, the
chords would
change to Tab. I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this. You
have been
extremely helpful and patient.

John, I may have this wrong, but don't you need to map the "Am" (two
chars) to the appropriate (single) character of the tab font, like
you do when setting the chordField field?
